The most ambitious summer reading programs to date were a great success. The summer reading club featured programs for young readers, school age readers and teens. The Teen program was again a success with over 100 teens successfully completing the program. The children's summer programs were sponsored by a partnership with the Burlingame Library Foundation, Burlingame Library Friends, and the Burlingame Lions Club. I offer a big "Thank you" to all three groups for their donations toward encouraging reading for the children in our community. Other summer programs for children included 45 programs for the "Begin with Books" program, with a total of 1,472 attended the programs during the month. Friends Donations The Friends of the Library met recently to donate funds for programs for the first half of fiscal 2000-2001. Donations included $ 7,500 for children's programs, public relations, books on CD and books on tape. The Friends have been long time supporters of the library's audiovisual collections. Thank you Friends! System Advisory Board Appointment The City Council has appointed outgoing Board President Mary Lou Morton to be Burlingame's System Advisory Board representative to the Peninsula Library System.

Up until December of 1990, when the City purchased the property on Primrose,that income came from the rental of the property, From 1990 to 1994 the proceeds from the sale of the property as well as the balance remaining in the Primrose Property checking account ($555,584.12) was invested in fixed income securities. The incorne from those securities was available for Library use. In 1994 the Foundation extended its total return investment policies to include all permanent funds at the Foundation, The Library's Board of Directors elected to pool the Duncan Fund's assets with PCF's endowment at that time. This decision was made so that capital appreciation would accrue to the principal of r m Fund, increasing income over time. Requests for distributions from the fund must come in the,form of a proposal initiated by the Directors/Staff of the Library. Any grant made from the Fund must be used as a supplement, not a replacement, of the income the Library receives from the City. All requests must be approved by the Foundation's Distribution Committee. Grants made 4/17/91 $60,000 Costs associated with moving Administrative and Reference staff offices, furniture for storage and display of audio-visual materials, on-going collections. 7/9/92 $32,900 4n-going collections, C-D Rom products, computer equipment and software, two outside book&a/v material return boxes, two new terminals for access to the on-line catalog and circulation system, 4!29/94 $10,000 Start-up Bands for the Burlingame Library Foundation 2/15/95 $7,000 Additional start-up funds for the Burlingame Library Foundation 4/9/93 $20,000 Upgrade internet services :Cor the Library 2/29/00 S8,000 Project Read 9/18/00 1700 SOUTH EL G�.MINO REAL.

BILL TO HELP LIBRARIES INCREASE HOURS MOVES FORWARD Earlier this year, Senator Debra Bowen (D-Marina del Rey) , Chair of the Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee, held a series of joint hearings with the Select Committee on Economic Development. The purpose of these hearings was to define the problem of the so-called "digital divide" and then look to private, non-profits, and the public sector for their assistance in offering suggestions and solutions to bridging this information gap. Senator Bowen's staff invited CLA to participate in the second hearing. Ann Cousineau, CLA Legislative Chair and Solano County Library Director, presented testimony relating to the computer services libraries currently provide. Senator Bowen's focus is that of using existing services/facilities such as libraries, but desiring to find them a funding source to "keep their doors open longer. " Ann Cousineau emphasized that libraries are still struggling in the wake of the property tax shifts of the early 1990 's and would appreciate any assistance that the legislature could provide in allowing libraries to increase their operations I.... hours. SB 1774-Bowen was then introduced as the vehicle for the work product of the digital divide hearings. Specifically, SB 1774, as introduced, would establish a grant program to encourage schools and libraries to make their computer facilities available to the public on evenings and weekends. The grants would cover the additional costs incurred by a school district, public access computer center, or library as well as provide for the cost of technical assistance at a level determined by the State Department of Education. (No grant shall exceed $100, 000. ) The committee analysis notes, "According to the author's office, 'One of the observations resulting from the hearing was that it seemed like a waste of resources for the school and library computer facilities to be opened for such limited hours. The purpose of the grant program is to offer incentives to libraries and schools to keep their computer facilities open longer hours. — During the hearing in the Assembly Education Committee, Senator Bowen agreed to an amendment, which was later crafted by CLA, that would allow the State Librarian, rather than the State Department of Education, to administer the library grants. The bill passed from committee with strong bi-partisan support on a vote of 14-1. While the bill does not appropriate a specific dollar amount for this purpose, Senator Bowen will be working with the Assembly Appropriations staff, where SB 1774 is next scheduled for hearing. Please take a moment today and write the members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee, particularly the Chair and Vice Chair, and urge their support for this measure.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND MENTORING PROGRAM AT THE LIBRARY AB 2486 by Assemblyman Carl Washington (D-Paramount) , the Chair of the Assembly Public Safety Committee, would enact the Youth Mentoring and Safe Communities Grant Program. The bill provides public libraries the opportunity to apply for competitive grants through the State Librarian, who will administer the program. To comply with the intent of the program, a public library must be able to provide at least two services, which are delineated in .the bill, such as: academic assistance augmentative of the learner's formal schooling; information regarding life skills programs, designed to improve competency in such areas as conflict resolution, and personal health and finance; access to computers and to other information technology, and to guidance in the use of those technologies, mentoring and educational peer matching; and others. The bill would appropriate a total of $2.5 million from the General Fund, and subsequently authorizes the State Librarian to provide two-year grants of between $30, 000 and $80, 000 to public libraries for this purpose. Lastly, AB 2486 "requires that public libraries match second year granted funding with $1 of cash or in-kind services for every $4 of state funding. " (Senate Education analysis. ) The bill, which is sponsored by the Library of California, is supported by groups such as CLA, the California Police Chiefs Association, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, and numerous libraries. In late June, AB 2486 received the support of the Senate Education Committee, where it passed on a vote of 12-1. Senate Education Chair, Dede Alpert and colleagues, Senators Deborah Ortiz, Byron Sher, John Vasconcellos and Wes Chesbro also added their names to the bill as co-authors. AB 2486 is now in the Senate Appropriations Committee where it has been scheduled for hearing on Monday, August 7, 2000. Please take a moment today to write the members of Senate Appropriations and encourage their support of this important bill, which Assemblyman Washington has called "a multi-million dollar measure, focused on aiding and continuing the role of California's 1, 100 libraries as a central component of healthy community and family life.

The patron has not followed the library behavior rules. Among the problems documented since November 1999: 1) Eating in the library 2) Rolling cigarettes in the library 3) Sleeping in the library 4) Viewing material on the Internet that disturbs others 5) Leaving inappropriate sexually explicit material in the restrooms where minors could fine it This behavior has continued even after staff has repeatedly advised him that it is unacceptable. He has received two written notices regarding his inappropriate behavior. He was suspended in January 2000 for a one-week period, but the inappropriate behavior has continued. Staff recommends that this patron have his library privileges suspended for a period of 6 months. City Attorney Larry Anderson has advised staff that this may be an appropriate action for the Board to take in this case. The patron must be notified in advance of the proposed suspension. The patron is then eligible for a hearing with the Board prior to the suspension. Staff recommends that the Board set the date of September 5, 2000, 4:30 PM, to set a hearing for this action. Should the patron not request a hearing, staff requests the Board to consider a six-month suspension of this patron'at that time. 4 8 0 P r i m r o s e R o a d • B u r I i n g a m e • C A 9 4 0 1 0 - 4 0 8 3 Phone ( 650 ) 342 - 1038 • Fax ( 650 ) 342 - 19489ww w . pIs .
